song with imperatives?

[Sibelan E S Forrester]

Dear Jennifer,

Even though "Bublichki" is not a recent song, my students always love 
learning it, and the chorus at least (kupite -- gonite -- pozhalej) 
isn't so complicated that a first-year student won't enjoy singing 
it.  Topics it might bring up:  blatnaja pesnja; NEP; the hidden plot 
lines of street food.  One version of the song shows up in Stites and 
von Geldern's MASS CULURE IN SOVIET RUSSIA (1995), which had an 
accompanying audio tape -- does anyone know whether that material is 
now available on CD?
